The Fed raised interest rates for the first time in three years, and Trump fired shots the same day. When asked by reporters, 'Do you still have confidence in the Federal Reserve Board?' President Trump sidestepped his handpicked chairman, Powell, and directly criticized the entire board as being 'very hostile' and 'packed with politicians.' The president’s math is clear: $36 trillion in national debt means every basis point translates to real money in interest payments. Since U.S. credit is the strongest in the world, why should it carry policy rates higher than other developed nations? With tariff revenues pouring in, the economy growing, and low interest rates, the deficit can finally be addressed.
